The über-serious German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has put its toe into web 2.0 waters by introducing participatory website forums. Though its newsprint sales are in decline the paper is attracting a growing online audience, recently stimulated by discussions about the blockbuster book, The Kindly Ones. The book is far from staid. It involves sex, sadism and Nazis. (Via )
